LONDON, Sept. 24, 2019 – Ford today launches a new connected vehicle smartphone app that will help small business customers maximise efficiency, security and productivity.

FordPass Pro is a dedicated new app for those who rely on their vehicles for their work, enabling them to manage up to five Ford vehicles from a single screen.

'Time is precious for small business owners, which is why we focus on delivering simple technology solutions that we know will make a big difference,' said Richard Bunn, FordPass director, Ford Mobility Europe. 'The new FordPass Pro app will help our customers spend less time managing their vehicles and more time making their business a success.'

The FordPass Pro app provides the tools businesses need to manage up to five vehicles within a single intuitive interface. Features include:

•Check In on the home screen for dynamic, instant access to important information about each vehicle – for example displaying AdBlue levels so owners know when to refill

•Vehicle Location lets owners know where their vehicles are at the beginning or end of the day, and helps drivers find their vans in busy car parks or work locations

•Remote Lock/Unlock provides reassurance that vehicles and their contents are safe, enabling independent security for both the cabin and load compartment

•Vehicle Health offers visibility of key vehicle health indicators including fuel levels, oil life, and tyre pressure, helping owners reduce wear and tear and improve fuel economy
